Inside sources have been whispering in VG247.com’s ears claiming that UK gamers are unlikely to receive the same Killzone 2 pre-order incentive as our friends across the pond.

As recently reported, U.S. gamers will be able to pre-order the Guerrilla Games shooter for a mere USD 5 and will be treated to a fully playable demo of the hotly anticipated sequel before anyone else. The demo will not be made available on PlayStation Network in North America until after the game's release, with a European release yet to be determined.

It is currently unknown if the rest of Europe will receive a similar deal.

Stay tuned.

    Doesnt surprise me one bit fekin a holes

    But just read this on PS£fanboy

    SCEA's deal with GameStop doesn't affect those living outside of the US. European gamers will be able to access a pre-release Killzone 2 demo on the PlayStation Store, no strings attached. SCEE didn't provide any specific dates, but told Videogamer.com that the demo will be released in a "normal manner."

    you know i really hate to say this but they are really screwing our uk counterparts and i think that is going to come back and bite sony in the butt. i am sure the uk install base is loyal but loyalty can only go so far when you are missing out on so much. come on sony pick it up a little and help them out
